Prosecutors in south Florida dropped charges against an excited fan who got onto the field and
hugged Real Madrid star
Cristiano Ronaldo during a match in August.

The Miami-Dade state attorney’s office said it would not prosecute
Ronald Gjoka, 20, on trespassing charges. During Real Madrid’s 3-1 Guinness
International Champions Cup victory over Chelsea, Gjoka hugged Ronaldo for several seconds before
police escorted him away.

According to a memo from the state attorney’s office, prosecutors made multiple attempts to
contact the owners of Sun Life Stadium, where the match was held, but never received a response.
Without a victim to testify, prosecutors said they can’t move forward with the case.

The Miami Dolphins operate the stadium. A message left with a team spokesman wasn’t immediately
returned.
